Last night, Starz aired the finale of their Flesh and Bone TV series. Has it been cancelled? Will it return for a second season?
Flesh and Bone revolves around the artists who are part of New York’s American Ballet Company (ABC). It explores both the dysfunction and the glamor of the world of ballet. The large cast includes Sarah Hay, Ben Daniels, Irina Dvorovenko, Sascha Radetsky, Raychel Diane Weiner, Emily Tyra, Josh Helman, Damon Herriman, Tina Benko, Karrell Williams, Patrick Page, and Tovah Feldshuh.
The cable channel ordered Flesh and Bone as a regular TV series back in January 2014. After the eight episodes were filmed, it was decided to make Flesh and Bone a “limited series” instead. No script or footage changes were made as it was felt that the season finale could work as a series finale. Starz CEO Chris Albrecht later said that he didn’t expect there to be a second season.
In November, co-star Radetsky was asked by TVLine if he felt there was closure in the final episode. He said, “I think it could go either way. It’s a standalone series, but [creator] Moira’s [Walley-Beckett] always thinking and she’s creating new storylines, so there’s certainly room for more to be explored.”
When asked if he’d be open to coming back to do a second season, Radetsky said, “Yeah. [But] I don’t think it’s even a remote possibility that it’s going to happen. I think everyone’s really thrilled with it as a standalone season and have moved on.”
While Starz could decide to revive Flesh and Bone for a second season at some point, there hasn’t been any talk of it yet.
What do you think? Are you satisfied with the ending of Flesh and Bone? Would you have watched a second season?
Need to bring back for season 2
More, more, more! Addictive viewing! Throughly enjoyed.
Loved it and I cannot believe there will be no more. I feel like I have been left hanging.
I need a 2nd season wonderful, gritty script. Left wanting more
Was amazing and would love to see a second series
it was the best series on TV, whether premium, basic cable, whatever. While nothing lasts forever, this needs at least 3 seasons. the writing and dancing and acting were simply the best.
More more more. Loved it.
Flesh & Bones is a wonderful series & I’m sure viewers want to see where the future takes Claire, Paul, & the rest of the ballet company. The series finale left many unanswered questions & you must continue with Season 2….PLEASE!! I loved Season 1 & want to see more! Thank you.
I thought the idea of a behind the scenes story of the ballet and its dancers was an outstanding idea. For anyone interested in the grace and beauty of ballet performers, it was a real treat to get closer to the subjects. For those not well acquainted with this medium, it provides great insights on the challenging steps to getting a position with a ballet organization. The actress/dancers were exceptional and I hope the series will return.
Watched whole series and was so happy to find a show with fantastic actors/actresses who were extremely talented ballet dancers with an awesome plot – been waiting for years for something like this to come on screen. Searched to see when season 2 out and nearly cried when i found out they decided to keep it to one season……why?? TV NEEDS a show like this! Please change your minds!
I’m a believer in quitting while ur ahead and bringing closure to this series in this fashion is just that. With the slaying of the dragon Claie’s brother where could the show possibly go from here. Answer: no where. They ended with grace.
Truly not fair to the viewers who believe in great suspense or the young dancers who believe in themselves…
We enjoy start… So why limit us to just one season, why start something you can’t finish???

You just have to have a second season at least!!! There is so much more story to be told, and wonderful dances to be danced!!! Ahhhhhh!! You can’t leave us hanging like that!!!
Definitely need a second season, excellent story line, Romeo character was great and brought meaning and excitement to the character, the dancing was phenomenal. Please don’t leave us hanging so many great story lines left unfinished.
Great show, it floors me that there will be no more. It was just a taste as far as I’m concerned, we just got a glimps of who everyone was. And then what? Nothing! Looks like way more to this story to me and so well done. It is hard to find quality series, I am so disappointed to say the least !!!
